Unable to start slimserver on MaxOS 13.0 (Ventura)

I normally start slimserver via the command line: perl /Library/PreferencePanes/Squeezebox.prefPane/Contents/server/slimserver.pl
After upgrading to Ventura, I get the following:
The following modules failed to load: EV
This is perl 5, version 30, subversion 3 (v5.30.3) built for darwin-thread-multi-2level

If 8.2 is outdated by the time you read this, Replace "8.2" with the major version
You should never need to do this if you're on Windows or Mac OSX. If the installers
don't work for you, ask for help and/or report a bug.

Please download the latest 8.3 nightly build from https://downloads.slimdevices.com/nightly/?ver=8.3. macOS Ventura has dropped the Perl version we were relying on for many years.
Installing the 8.3 nightly build worked! Slimserver is now running on my MacOS 13.0 machine. I can also run Squeezelite on the same MacOS machine. However, my other devices are unable to connect to the slimserver.
I can access the Logitech Media Server web interface on the mac, but I cannot access it from other machines and devices on my network.
Check the Mac's firewall settings to make sure it allows access to LMS. You might have to grant the new Perl version full access to the disk, too.
Ok, I got it working by starting slimserver from the command line and specifying the perl version as follows:
perl5.34 /Library/PreferencePanes/Squeezebox.prefPane/Contents/server/slimserver.pl
That may not be the best solution, but it works! Thank you for your help.
